Spine: Cool to be you!! Congrats on the new ride. You certainly know how to mix it up. May I propose something in a sportier varity for the next go araound? Say a busa or perhaps the new ZX-14?

Good luck with them all.

Oh, I was in Naples on Saturday - should have come by, especially with that new bike of yours. The only problem is that I was leading a bunch of Hardley owners and they wanted to go to the Hardley dealer. Yawn.

Yeah, but by the time it gets to the rear wheel its prolly only about 650 horses. :D

Fantastic bike ya got there, that 'Hoss.

Come on guys, it has two wheels, it's a m-o-t-o-r-c-y-c-l-e. He got it to enjoy/ further his riding joy of two wheel beasts.

Plenty of people out there think all of us are completely nutz for riding on ANY motorcycle.

 
Ver cool looking bike. I know nothing about them except that they have a V8. I always thought they had a small block but I guess your's is a big block. Looks a lot cooler than any Harley I ever saw. Good luck with it, and stay upright!

 
They only come with a 350 ci small block or a 502 ci big block from the factory. Custom built ones come with big and small blocks made of all aluminum up to 606 ci. Mine is a 434 aluminum brodex and is actually a very light small block with a very hot cam.

If I remember correctly the Boss Hog is built in the greater Kansas City, MO area and I believe it was started by former and/or retired aviation engineers. My recall is not as good as it used to be about those details but I do specifically remember reading in the KC paper last year about a man who took one out on a trial run 'just down the block and back.' He lost control while accelerating and was killed in front of his friends. It was a very sad mishap because he was an experienced rider: such accidents happen regardless of experience, bike or situation. I wonder how much of a role the huge amount of torque resulting in blazing acceleration was a factor in the mishap.

 
Jesus Pallamina!! a genuine two wheeled testosterone nut draggin mush-een, that thing would take a whole bottle of chrome polish! sure is purdy! I likes cruisers too.

 
Small penis? :lol: Just kidding dude...fine looking machine!

Remember, Cycle World roadtested one along with other 'big engine' bikes several months back...

(yeah, I know, NO comparison...)

their resident sportbike hooligan (Cernicky, IIRC) whacked the throttle open at the dragstrip, got sideways; then it snapped back so violently that he broke a molar! Doh!
